The Fear of the Lord
The fear of the Lord is a complex topic, not only because fear is an intense, complicated emotion but because the Bible itself presents it, on the one hand, as a bad thing. Yet on the other hand, it presents fear as a good thing, the very substance of true faith. So which is it? In this lesson, Dr. Reeves addresses the tension surrounding fear by showing how the fear of the Lord puts all other fears in their proper place.
